1. Tell which issue related to globalization you chose to explore.

2. Briefly describe one element one element of the issue that you found to be particularly interesting.

3. Tell which of the following statements you tend to agree with.

Be prepared to explain why and provide support for your opinion, or develop a third position with support.

1. The benefits of globalization for individuals and the world economy outweigh any concerns regarding this issue, and we should not try to curb further globalization. OR

2. The harm globalization is causing regarding this issue outweighs the benefits to individuals and the world economy.

1. I'd like to explore a problem of usage finite resources more quickly in last 20-30 years. The usage of finite sources began rising rapidly in 2002 and it's still rising. It can cause horrible consequences, like increased carbon dioxide emissions.

2. Interesting fact that China joined the world trade organization in 2001. And in 2002 China's energy consumption of coal, gas, oil etc. began rapidly increasing. Its energy consumption in 2010 became 5 times greater than in 1982.

I'll describe both statements:

1. Globalization creates good conditions for economic growth. It provides more jobs, makes companies more competitive. Global free trades give consumers a possibility to buy products from other countries. for affordable prices.

2. Increased World's energy consumption leads us to the increased carbon dioxide emission creating greenhouse effect. We should take care of our environment. Also the increased world's energy consumption leads us to the lack of finite resources.
